Finding the Best Business Model

Price-time machine.

The custom interface can mix various sources of revenue with different kind of expenses. All time-based items such as In App purchases or wages are easy to set up. The net result is automatically calculated, based on the sales season and the number of downloads. You can change all numbers to make iterations on your business plan and have quick results instead of working on complex formulas. This tool has been designed to help you know for sure if your App is worth developing or not. It’s good to have three levels of forecast (low, average, high) but keep in mind that even the lowest one should cover your expenses. The average time to create an App is three to six months for the first version. You should be profitable within a year to give your project the “go”.
